Spring Cleanup: Bread and Cheese Creek, Willow Road Section: Volunteers Needed

Please mark your calendars for our next cleanup on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Rain or Shine, as the day and time we clean up the Willow Road section of the stream.  This event will be run in conjunction with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay as part of their Annual Project Clean Stream Event.  You can see photos of the section we will be cleaning by following this link:  http://flic.kr/s/aHsjD2vhxi


We run our cleanups as a family event with plenty of ways for volunteers to participate.  We welcome every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the cleanup.  Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters,  we need people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to help at registration, setup food and snacks as well as many other less strenuous activities.  We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students.  The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone.   We will provide lunch and snacks as well as gloves.  A limited number of tools and waders are available for sign-out, but suggest bringing your own if you have them.
